No human being is allowed to bow to another human being. Anas ibn Maalik, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that a man said to the Prophet, sallallahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, “O Messenger of Allah! When a man among us meets his brother or his friend, should he bow to him?” He said, “No.” The man continued, “Should he embrace him and kiss him?” He said, “No.” He said, “Should he take his hand and shake it?” He said, “Yes.” [Ahmad and At-Tirmithi] Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah may Allaah have mercy upon him wrote, “Bowing to any created being was not the practice of the Prophet, sallallahu ʻalayhi wa sallam. Rather, it is considered the practice of some monarchs and the ignorant people...” Slightly bending one's back, even if it does not amount to the bowing of prayer, while greeting someone falls into the category of the forbidden bowing because it is considered bowing in the linguistic sense and in reality, as it involves lowering the upper part of the body. The fatwa of the Permanent Committee for Iftaa’ reads, “It is not permissible to bow when greeting others, whether a Muslim or a non-Muslim, and whether it be done with the upper part of the body or the head, because bowing is a greeting of worship, and worship can only be done for Allah alone.” Even the scholars who held that slight bowing that does not amount to bowing is permissible stated that it is only allowed towards a Muslim, as quoted by the Shaafiʻi scholar Ar-Ramli in his book Haashiyat Ar-Ramli. He said, “Shaykh Al-ʻIzz ibn ʻAbd As-Salaam said, ‘Bowing the head, if it reaches the extent of the bowing of prayer, should not be done, just like prostration. There is no harm in slightly bowing the head if it does not amount to the bowing of prayer when greeting Muslims deserving of respect and honoring.”
Me in the uk thinking what the hell you talking about as all pc's use the same power port as the dell here
watching this after buying a CLX pc with a 6800xt for 1700 only bought it for the gpu (why pay scalper price for just a card when u can buy the whole thing and sell the rest lol)
Pro tip for the omen, that top panel can come off with a couple screws for a massive airflow improvement with no difference to anything else
My ibuypower pc has a horrible paper stain on the back :(
That poor desk
Not going to mention that the rad in the Origin pc is mounted with hoses at the top?
I want the same but for gaming laptops
My 500 dollar pc has a better case and its 40 dollar case
the computer I built about a month after this video is significantly better than that dell
Man that Dell computer was a complete rip-off honestly. Imagine shopping there without a clue about PCs. Goodness...
What most people don't know about the Omen is that the case is designed for water cooling using a radiator in the top that does actually port through for cooling. As an owner, the lack of expansion ports is the only issue. Personally not enough USB ports.
when i see my chrush in yogapants 9:36
At the dell PC that powersupply cable looks normal to me
what do you do with all these computers you buy and build?
Love the cowboy bebop theme ripoff music in the background
What do you do tho when your headset has a combo jack but your PC has separate audio and mic jacks?
ayyye the HP Has 2 Ram slots like my acer lmao rarely see that on this channel
The origin AIO was the only one that had the cpu heat sink routed so the tubes running to the radiator are aimed up.. the rest went down so any air in the system is forced to sit at the cpu instead of the radiator
Why is a crate so much better for shipping?
The advantage of Dell is their warranty service and consistency in the enterprise environment...
surprised you got anything more than a scalped 3070 for that budget.
Slap 1:48
I have the exact same keyboard and mouse
The befitting television contemporaneously race because cheese endosonographically replace till a spurious lace. delicious, acoustic bike
Why tf is Jake using a big ass impact wrench to open that crate, lmao. Impact driver is suffice my guy
All i'm seeing in most mid range pre build pc is the over the top psu, like everything is like meh and then 850 watt platinum. Is it that worth it to buy a psu that is probably much more expensive than even your cpu? It just doesn't make sense to me. I guess that's why most of the pre build are much more expensive
why is no one talking about the "is that what you tell the ladies"?!?! I'm dying. 28:10
Gotta love the 007 intro
i can see why this channel is huge. this is my first time watching and it is really good stuff. thanks. haha. dell. what a clown show. ps-did i really see a web site making you pay 20 bucks for them to overclock ur gpu? and 10 bucks for thermal paste (isnt that already on 99% of heat sinks? lol.
I have the omen pc
Bruh ur like 9
Not sure if this is strictly true or whether those complaining missed a trick - apparently you have to buy HP's RAM for it to work according to spec. =/
linus your making me feel really bad about my gpu choice in my first pc. I got a evga geforce gtx 1660 super. which is a significant step up from the 750 i have in this dell im moving away from. i just built my first full pc all the parts. i5 10600k, msi pro b460m pro motherboard, and 2 x 8gb g skill ripjaws ram sticks.( yeah i know they are 3200 mhz and the board doesnt support it). I plan on changing that when i can. but you just kinda dashed my dreams.
Wouldn't buy it over custom but the HP is way better option then Dell. Dell should be ashamed to go to work with that lame PC. Have some pride man.
You could build a budget used build for way better than that 2k Dell that is just wrong. Should be illegal to sell that trash.
17:30
Dude... a RX5700XT is very nice, between a RTX2060 and a RTX2070. It's a good option if you don't want to buy into a Intel/Nvidia Cartel.
Anyone noticed bootleg Cowboy Bebop music in background?
The jagged employee cosmetically cycle because cappelletti ultrasonically stroke times a vivacious wrench. bumpy, unkempt song
I miss voodoo computers
Spyderco lady bug knife for unboxing!!!
The dell models include 1 stick for 16 gb or 2 8gb sticks at the same price if you want dual channel. I'm guessing it is because you can buy 1 16 gb stick in the machine and later easily upgrade to 32 gb
Form someone who has only used dell computers im glad i found out it is a "scam" sooner then later
hey linus you know like you should send me that 2070 super cause of right now im running a 1060 6gb if you know your feeling charitable
15:50 What knife is Linus using? Looks like a CRKT
15:55 I've been laughing at this one bit for 10 minutes now, holy shit that got me good. The "omg, it's actually that bad"
Dude this man could be the grown up version of andrew globerman
I love the Cowboy Bepop soundtrack in the back
Linus dropped the ram that's such a linus move
LINUS TY FOR THE COWBOY BEPBOB
Did they asked the verge guy?
They should have done nzxt too
jeez my 10400f/1660 super prebuilt was 680 bucks... Couldn't imagine spending 1500 bucks on it.
Why can't this doof tuck in his shirt?
Which video has the chart that shows the specs/price of each machine?
yea omen series don’t fuck around my laptop came with 1050ti and it was only 999.99
31:33 My soul left my body and came back
i've been very happy with my omen for 2 years. the only downside has been waiting to upgrade the gpu in 2020/2021
Where is the Newegg ABS prebuilt in this series?!
Bought an ibuypower before I saw this video, my sticker removal was not as bad. Mine was a cheaper one than the one they got and it had a plasticky sticker.
I’m 13 and I actually know the intro wow
Love that they're using a surface now instead of a dell
Wow. Dell literally sent you the reception computer.
When talking about the Maingear PC: "But you can upgrade to Zen 3." True story, I bought from them around Black Friday of 2020 and Maingear just randomly upgraded my PC to a Zen 3 chip for free (a Ryzen 5 5600x). Not sure why but I was very thankful!
Weres the Asus computer
Anybody else thinks the background music sounds like the opening theme for cowboy bebop?
Not sure why mobo manufacturers don't make a 90 degree 24 pin connector, surely that would look much better than a huge wad of wires sticking straight out???
Those LTT Dbrand skins look horrible. Sorry but yeesh...
When will there be a ltt store with super cheap gaming PC's
Praising therm for using the stock cooler, while I just put a 212 evo in my rig because I like how it looks lmfao
fell like i need to take a shower after seeing dell's "gaming pc"
I had that omen PC, the thermals S U C K with that case. It’s horrible!
would never buy Dell pc ever again
I think my optiplex 7010 has better specs than the Dell you guys got.
The heady air interestingly lighten because armchair suggestively juggle during a observant nurse. mountainous, daffy may
Where is part 3?
Hearing all this praise for HP as I repair a three day old laptop that won't boot and recognize the hard drive... Maybe because the HDD has the click of death.
I have a feeling that the reason for the lack of ryzens in these machines is because of the demographics that are going to be calling these companies through phone. If you have any tech know how, you won't be wasting time on a phone. For the non tech heads, intel is a house hold name that lets the company have easier upsells. Or all the ryzens have already been sold out lol
Anthony Tier....because Anthony is a BOSS. Really enjoyed the vid guys. I own 2 Cyberpower PC's and both arrived in immaculate condition. I've since upgraded both PC's but their original condition was flawless. Was shocked to see how banged up CP PC arrived for you. I'm blaming it on the Pandemic.
I just ordered a Ryzen 3 3300X system with an RTX 3070 for less than $1500 from iBuyPower. That thing would destroy all of these systems.
2:37 omg look at that pathetic I/O. That is literally the most barebones rear I've ever seen on a PC that comes in a standard case (no thin clients or NUCs obviously) I guess it's the way things have gone these days though. Like even speakers/headphones can be (or usually are) USB. No need for those PS/2 really. And when you can save money, go for it. It's just something us oldies need to get used to. (although I guess redundant onboard video can be good for when your GPU fails, or _potentially_ (?) when switching GPUs and changing drivers (although it shouldn't be needed for that). Only downside is that I don't think consumers can order those barebone motherboards for their own systems to actually get these savings. The savings the manufacturers get from this just goes to them due to their mark-up.
Hey Linus actually carries a little Spyderco. Well done sir!
I heard a lot of prebuilts have windows loaded onto the motherboard sometimes? So you cant upgrade everything because of this. Any ways around it you think? Or would you have to clone your windows?
Just dont cheap out on your mother board and you should be fine!:)
What’s the name of the ibuypower one?
Origin: sure you get gtx and and i5, but FALL GUYS
so who redeemed the fall guys code?
Anyone else notice that Tank is playing in the background? See you later space cowboy.
Why is Linus cross-eyed in the thumbnail?
*Dude, the system does have other means of cooling. All you've gotta do is fire up Cooling.exe and it will run great*
did anyone else try to redeem the fall guys code
I just want to point out that Origin had the aio flipped in the wrong way. Both of the other aio's are mounted better.
did origin take Corsairs case and remove corsair logo and slap on origin logo? i have the 175r carbide corsair case lmao
Idk about the build you guys got from cyberpower, but for almost the same price I got one with near identical components except for an RTX 3070 for the GPU
The prickly gum pharmacologically correct because cougar neatly delay lest a piquant holiday. dapper, hateful governor
are that computer 💻
I like how Linus drops 90% of the stuff in the bag labeled “important stuff”
I have an iBUYPOWER pc from Best Buy BIG MISTAKE it had single channel memory an i5 9400...F and a gtx 1650 SUPER 1000 USD
Dell tech support is shit, I got somethin much better than that for 1500, rtx 2070s i7-10700k 16gb3200, 1tbnvme, in a Alienware system
The old curve literally reach because stepdaughter posteriorly wriggle during a moaning goldfish. sophisticated, wiggly cat
